WE ARE CLAYSTON

Clayston is a prestigious group of lawyers, tax advisors, auditors, business and financial specialists.

We primarily advise our clients in their domestic markets as well as on cross-border matters. We work across jurisdictions and industries, supporting companies that are growing, transforming, or entering new markets.

Our core strengths include international law, corporate law, and tax advisory — with a strong focus on arbitration, sanctions, and export-control matters as well as the support of foreign investments. We guide expanding SMEs just as confidently as we support global enterprises and their owners.

We also advise private clients on inheritance, succession, and the structuring of family-owned companies and trusts, always with an eye on long-term stability.

What defines us is simple: clear thinking, practical solutions, and entrepreneurial mindset. We work the way our clients work — forward-looking, hands-on, and focused on sustainable results. Protecting and growing your business is not just our job; it’s our commitment.

Thanks to our global network, we deliver seamless international advice and can handle complex cross-border matters from one source.

And one more thing we’re proud of: in 2025, Clayston was named among Germany’s Best Lawyers by Handelsblatt — a recognition of our growing presence in international disputes, sanctions advisory, and cross-border transactions.

We speak 13 languages, but primarily yours. 

At Clayston, investments by foreign companies are in experienced and creative hands.
